- Don't have Sky so haven't seen Flash but I do like Comics so have broken into my Comic Con savings and got the DVD.
- Watched the pilot this morning, fittingly called Pilot, and it was good but nothing extraordinary, the lead doesn't feel like a leading guy which hampers it a bit. The origin of his powers is shown but not used as the story which powers the pilot as it had been shown in Arrow. We got the Smallville style Freak Of The Week, and may got more as the whole city seems to opf been affected by the storm. It was okay as stated but I'm not too excited going into episode 2.

Episode II: Attack Of The Clones
Not watched this in a while but I have long disliked, probably why i've not watched it again but I'm on a Star Wars thang at the mo and after Episode I (http://nonwrestling.blogspot.co.uk/2015/09/episode-i-phantom-menace.html) a few days ago I watched the follow-up this morning.
The buffer of the original trilogy was the best there but the same can't be said for this one though I did enjoy it more than I remembered doing so as I have always placed this at the bottom of the Star Wars totem pole by some distance but upon today's viewing that's not totally fair as I did enjoy parts of it whereas I remembered disliking all of it.
Although Jedi are essentially peacekeepers it's hard to disagree with Anakin's decision to wipeout the tusken raiders who had tortured his mother, another sign of what he'd become. A classic character is introduced, albeit as a child, as we meet Boba Fett, his father/cloner(?) Jango Fett appears and is revealed as the original that the Clones are based on, but he is killed before the end credits and his helmet is shown in the hands of Boba.
The films for me are dined by there fights, especially the prequels, but I always thought II's were poor and it's not that the Obi-Wan/Anakin/Yoda Vs. Dooku fight is poor it's more that it's not really a true fight, though Anakin does lose his arm as Luke does in the middle film. I do love big brawls and here is no different as I liked the part where the Jedis fight Droids as Anakin, Obi-Wan and Padme are to be executed on Geonosis, this is where Jango is killed as Mace Windu decapitates him, special mention for Windus awesome Purple Lightsaber.
The acting and writing at times left a lot to be desired and one bit I didn't care for was when Anakin and Padme are bonding on Naboo, it was as if someone had put Pride & Prejudice or some other mundane love story, into my Xbox and a scene set in the droid factory with Anakin, Padme, C3PO and R2-D2 knocked the films momentum off a bit.
Jar-Jar is placed in Padme's place at the senate and gives powers to Chancellor Palpatine to create an army to fight the separatists, I think of it as like the US Civil War where South Carolina and the rest succeeded, the powers that Palpatine is given leads to Order 66 in Episode III which leads to Jedis
being almost wiped out so Jar-Jar is responsible in a way for the Jedi wipeout, was that done due to the sizable hate for Jar-Jar?
Watched out of context it's not as good but watching it as a piece of the Star Wars puzzle I feel it is perfectly acceptable for what it is which is the buffer between the start and end, due to this I think it's fair that nothing becomes settled and rather the pieces are put in place for Episode III, like a good mid-season finale.

Episode I: The Phantom Menace
I now have all the Star Wars on DVD my search for them singularly proved futile however I found a Darth Vader and Yoda 3pk, Vader's being £7 from ASDA and Yodas being £15 from Tesco. I have decided to watch them in order because well it would be stupid not to and last night saw Episode I: The Phantom Menace for the first time in years, maybe even since I caught in 99 at my then local cinema.
This is considered one of the weaker films in the, uhh, what's the trilogy word for a 6 film collection? if not the outright weakest now that may be a fair assessment but I don't think the movie itself is as bad as the general consensus seems, it still may be the weakest of the VI but just because II-VI may be better it doesn't make this one bad just not as good, though personally I've always placed II bottom of the pack.
This entry is the least focused on the Jedi/Sith rivalry for sure and does have an political debate feel with some of the content, throughout there's a thing about Trade Routes being blocked throughout the galaxy and Qui-Gon (Liam Neeson) and Obi-Wan (Ewan McGregor) soon protect Queen Amidala (Natalie Portman) as she is going to be strong armed into a treaty that here rivals want signed.
Anakin (Jake Lloyd) is shown to be a competent PodRacer and later in the film is in space with a Naboo Fighter Plane, I think, which is a precursor to his flying as Vader in IV, in fact there was a few things that seemed to point to Anakin having a bad future, Yoda picked up on his fear saying it will become anger and it's fair to say Vader wasn't the most passive of people, I did like the foreshadowing of what Anakin becomes, weird watching Anakin in a room with Mace Windu knowing that Anakin causes his death in III.
The one big black mark against these prequels, I say black mark it's more like the size of a black hole, is Jar Jar Binks whose comic relief doesn't fit in with the Star Wars theme, I don't hate the character like many do but I wouldn't miss him if he was gone from the film or at least his comic antics, like when kids are telling Anakin he won't win which is a downer for the kid then seconds later Jar Jar's hand is stuck in the podracer. In 99 I did get a Qui-Gon Jinn money bank or something but I don't remember favouring Qui-Gon in the Star Wars world in fact I only really remember his death but upon my viewing last night I must say that I did like the guy which was a surprise as I thought i'd be nonplussed.
The main bad guy is really Darth Sidious who along with his good persona if you will of Palpatine is featured in this film but the bad guy who does the fighting isn't in the film much at all, must've been around seven minutes screen time, though due to his look Darth Maul is memorable, though not acknowledged here or in II-VI Darth does survive the chop, ha-ha.
The climatic fight was okay and Palpatine getting power in the senate is important to the story also Anakin's mum remains a slave and that plays a part in his turn to the Dark Side albeit not here. The film was better than I remembered, does it reach TESB level? No but it isn't bad in its own right, also I've always assumed Phantom Menace was Darth Maul but it's just hit me it may be The Sith as a whole who are long thought extinct..

My Top Songs 2009/10
- Whilst trying to put all my wrestling reviews together I came across as list of my fave songs that I compiled in I believe either 2009 or 2010, I knew it doesn't predate 2009 as Man In The Mirror is on here and I didn't hear that until Michael Jacksons passing in mid 2009. I was shocked at the list mainly as it contains a handful of songs I now hate, after I did the list I got into Prince which opened my eyes to music and some Motowny stuff caught my ears, I have done a new list of my favourite songs at the moment but for now here's the old list.

Inside Out
In a writing mood but couldn't think of anything but remembered I recently saw Inside Out so quick thoughts on the latest Pixar film.
Based on what I'd seen prior to me attending the cinema Anger was my favourite going in, also I'd taken my sister to Liverpool the week before and saw a load of Fear Pops so figured he wasn't very good as seemed unpopular, and after watching the film Anger was indeed my favourite in it however I was surprised to find that Fear was my second favourite of the 5 emotions, in order it went Anger-Fear-Joy-Disgust-Sadness, the Top 2 were easy picks and Joy-Disgust were pretty much interchangeable but based on the fact that Disgust is in the movie the least I put Joy ahead of her and Sadness is a real downer and I didn't warm to her even though she fit her name well.
I must say I Loved the premise of the film, how many films are truly original these days? It did get me thinking how good it would be if these were real and in our minds there really was little people sorting out our memories, like the other day I was trying to remember a song then a couple of days later when I'd forgot about it it came into my head suddenly and imagine if that was due to little guys in our heads sorting through archived memories.
We meet Riley's imaginary friend who's just going about his day in the long term memory area of the brain, unfortunately Bing Bong fades away and is forgotten by Riley at the end, whilst he did this to help Joy not be forgotten for good it was still sad.
One scene I did like inparticular was the trailer that I saw during the Minions film and in that the mother is talking to dadf but in his mind Soccer is playing, I can relate to that though it's usually Basketball or American Football which is funny as the Soccer/Football game is shown for UK audiences, I believe Hokey is shown in US cut.
Highly enjoyable and looks beautiful, no I'm not talking about Inside Out and I mean myself, nah only joking. Go see it now.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I asked my 9 year old sister if she wanted to practice reviewing so here's her first ever one -
INSIDE OUT REVIEW
I went to inside out at the cinema in rhyl
and i thought it was really good
and my favourite characters in order are
Anger
Disgust
Sadness
Fear
Joy
when riley was born the 1st to the 5th character that came in
1st Joy
2nd Sadness
3rd Disgust
4th Fear
5th Anger
i didn't like joy because she always tries to look on the
bright side and saying things like "hey it's alright"
and "group hug you to anger" it's really annoying
to me.
I love anger he's a LOL i really love him
the best thing about him is his little
news paper with his little headlines from what
the parents said.
We met bing-bong in the long term memory
and he was going through the islands
and they keep falling apart
and friendship island falls apart because
Anger tries to be Joy and everything goes wrong
and Riley and her friend fall out.
Goofball island falls apart when the dad pretends to be a
monkey and there is no reply.
hockey island goes when she fails the hockey trial because Joy
and Sadness weren't there.
she left home on the bus and went back because she had a change of heart
because sadness and joy weren't there

All-Time NBA Bracket Seeds
- Inspired by the Shaq/Pippen 'beef' of a few weeks ago I started a All-Time NBA bracket where I see who I think is the best ever starting 5, players are from an All-Time roster and not a starting 5 from a certain period also no dupes so Shaq may not even make my Lakers team depending on where I place Wilt and Kareem. The seeds were based on Title Wins and after wasting around 20 pieces of paper I worked out how to fit 30 Teams into a bracket hence the Top Teams get byes to around the 2nd round I believe.
Here's the seeding -
1. Boston Celtics
2. Minneapolis/LA Lakers
3. Chicago Bulls
4. San Antonio Spurs
5. Philadelphia/San Francisco/Golden State Warriors
6. Detroit Pistons
7. Indiana Pacers
8. Miami Heat
9. Syracuse Nationals/Philadelphia 76ers
10. New Jersey/Brooklyn Nets
11. Houston Rockets
12. New York Knicks
13. Tri-Cities Blackhawks/Milwaukee/St. Louis/Atlanta Hawks
14. Dallas Mavericks
15. Milwaukee Bucks
16. Seattle Supersonics/Oklahoma City Thunder
17. Portland Trail-Blazers
18. Rochester/Cincinnati Royals/Kansas-Omaha Kings/Kansas/Sacramento Kings
19. Chicago Packers/Chicago Zephyrs/Baltimore Bullets/Capital/Washington/Washington Wizards
20. Charlotte Bobcats/Hornets
21. Cleveland Cavaliers
22. Denver Nuggets
23. Buffalo Braves/San Diego Clippers/ LA Clippers
24. Memphis Grizzlies
25. Minnesota Timberwolves
26. New Orleans Hornets/Pelicans
27. Orlando Magic
28. Phoenix Suns
29. Toronto Raptors
30. Utah Jazz
Top 8 seeds don't appear until 2nd round as it starts with the bottom 12 facing each other 19 Vs. 30, 20 Vs. 29 etc. then the winners advance to Round 1 where 9-18 appear then the big dogs show up until 1 winner emerges and I am a DET fan but will but aside biases as I think that is integral in these things.
